Distillery: Cragganmore
Banffshire, Scotland
Cragganmore distillery, on the banks of the river Spey, is home to one of the most complex and characterful malt whiskies of the Speyside region.
In 1869, Big John Smith – said to have been the most experienced distiller of his day. He lobbied for a railway siding, and using this, his business acumen and skill as a distiller, turned Cragganmore into a popular, high-quality single malt whisky.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Beautifully structured and contemplative with a soft sweet nose. Palate: Exploring the typical Cragganmore character, the palae is compellingly intense, evantually drying out revealing oak and malt Finish: A long and warming finish, typical of Cragganmore.
Whiskeybase.com has scored this Cragganmore Special Release 2016 Whisky - 70cl 55.7% 87/100 overall on their site through customer recommendations.
‘The nose is excellent from the start onwards. Can also use a bit of water, which also benefits the finish a lot I found.’
